Why Study Construction Management? Construction Management provides a very rewarding career path for people who enjoy being a team player and like to be challenged in their work. Many graduates enjoy filling the traditional construction manager role, whilst others find a place for themselves in many of the niche areas of construction. This programme provides firm foundations and an excellent grounding in the fundamental skills of construction management allowing you to contribute as part of the management team for construction projects. The programme also provides a good basis for future study, should you find you have caught the construction management bug.
Programme Modules The programme provides a good understanding of some of the key elements and skills of construction management. Core subjects cover construction technology at domestic level (year one) and non-domestic level (year two) this is a fast moving area with many new technologies emerging to meet the demands of sustainability. The construction management module gives you a broad understanding of the procedures used by construction companies to manage elements such as production, programming, health & safety and quality. You will also develop a range of practical and marketable skills in such areas as CAD and Land Surveying. A collection of other specially selected modules will broaden your understanding of construction process and organisation.
Career Opportunities
Graduates gain employment as part of the management team on construction projects and can progress to more senior levels over time.
Follow on Studies
Students successfully completing this programme can progress, through an internal progression route, to year 3 of the Bachelor of Science in Construction Management programme at GMIT. Progression is also possible onto level 7 programmes at other Institutes of Technology or Universities in Ireland or elsewhere.
Recognition by Professional Bodies
Students and Graduates from the programme can obtain Chartered Institute of Building membership at a student or non-chartered level. They may progress to higher levels of membership by obtaining additional qualifications and industrial experience.

Why Study Construction Management? When you walk past a building site do you look beyond the perimeter hoarding? Do you think of the planning and cost analysis that have to go into organising the whole site? This programme provides you with the technological, financial and managerial education foundations to enable you, in time, to direct the total construction process. The practical and administrative training you will gain will enable you to communicate with craft, technical and managerial staff.
Programme Modules
In the first year you will cover the basic topics concerned with the construction industry such as construction technology and surveying along with general topics like mathematics and science. In the successive years, emphasis will turn towards building management, accounts and the financial side of construction. Projects play a large part in the programme and are designed to reflect ‘real life’ projects in the industry by drawing on knowledge from various subjects like AutoCAD, surveying, estimating, structural design and site management. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of up-to-date methods of construction, design and construction management.
Career Opportunities
Graduates find employment in the construction industry at middle management level. With experience they can progress to higher management positions in a short time.
Follow-on Studies A variety of options for progression are available for successful graduates to proceed, through an internal progression route, to year 4 of the Bachelor of Science (Honours)in Construction Management programme in GMIT or other institutes of technology or universities in Ireland and elsewhere.
Other Essential Information Recognition by professional bodies The course is fully recognised by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). Level 7 graduates can immediately become Incorporated Members of the CIOB and with further study and appropriate professional experience can become full Chartered Members.
